Physio

Kaden had the physio at the hospital yesterday.He did really well.She had him doing his sitting to standing,and played with some coloured cubes and a giant ball.The physio said he was doing real well and she could see a big difference from last time.She also said to get him to use his walker more - to get him used to walking pushing something.Kaden actualy didn't cry (as much) as usual,he played quite happy until she tryed to get him to crawl...and then he lost it!!The physio said Kaden's pelvis is still wobbly and she'd like to see him in a month,but because we're on holiday she's made a appointment for the 1st October.Then his next appointments at the hospital is November for a 12months+ neo-natal check and an appointment with the surgeon.Kaden is sitting at my feet as i write this throwing sweeties allover the place..as i gave him a tin of sweets to play with to keep him amused,and they certainly have.

'Kadens Journey'

This about our unborn son Kaden who was diagnosed with a diaphragmatic hernia known as CDH while in my womb at 18 weeks.After hearing about the condition and all possible outcomes we decided to give our baby the best chance in life.The doctors gave him a 50/50 chance of survival.Knowing our unborn baby had a long fight ahead we picked a name for him with a meaning - Kaden means ;fighter and he did exactly that.At 37 weeks gestation we had a MRI scan to find most of our babys organs were in his chest - his stomach,spleen,left lobe of his liver,bowel and intestines.At 39+1 weeks Kaden was born by c-section on Wednesday 25th July 2007.Kaden was operated on at day2 to have his organs put back where they belong.After an emotional 6 weeks of which Kaden spent 4 weeks in intensive care and a further 2 weeks in the Neo-natal.Kaden was allowed home on the Wednesday 5th September 2007.Kaden has had 4 operations in all - 1 lifesaving op at day 2,1 fundo and gastrostomy and 2 hernia repairs.Although Kaden has feeding issues - we are so proud of 'Our Special Little Boy'who continues to thrive every day.And we are so Thankful to have 'Our miracle'.
